Review written by Jonathan Weichsel, MoreHorror.com
There are some films that you like because they are so good, some films that you like because they are so bad, and some films that you like because they are completely insane. Virginia Obscura falls into the latter category. The insanity in Virginia Obscura isn’t the over the top Grindhouse kind that we have grown used to, but rather a more subtle kind of madness.
Virginia Obscura is about a woman who kidnaps four men who gang banged her mother years ago at a party. Any one of these men could be her dad. She is mad at them not only because one is a deadbeat, but because all four took advantage of her mother sexually. As she tortures them however, she learns that although they are all awful people, the truth is not as black and white as she first imagined.

A gritty and engaging tale of deceit, violence and desperation, Nobody Can Cool is anchored by a breakout performance by Nick Principe (best known from his work in the Laid to Rest series, Madison County and...

Virginia Obscura is a slasher film from first time director Toby Osborne. This title has recently completed production and some promotional material for the film has been released: a movie poster and still. The graphic hints at the film's premise. The tagline states: "a pinhole of light can expose the darkest secrets." That pinhole allows a minor character to see the tortuous deeds of a hurt young woman. Her mother was raped by four men and one of these men is her father. A DNA test will provide some truth and put these dark secrets to rest, forever. As well, four move stills have been released for the film. The most interesting photo is hosted below. In the still, a killer is shown, a henchman of the young woman. View both graphics here, with Virginia Obscura set for release in the Summer of 2013. Release Date: Summer 2013. Director/writer: Toby Osborne.
